F3236

The F3236 can be configured for milling or turning applications. The milling version is precisely tailored to the requirements of vertical machining centers and comes with additional machine components such as an A-axis for machining cylindrical workpieces or a rotary unit for machining inclined workpiece planes. Using the intelligent path guidance system Advanced Surface, the Sinumerik 828D can also be used to produce high-precision molds. The turning version is designed for single-pass inclined bed lathes. In addition to power tools for face and external surface machining (with or without Y-axis), the system also supports a fully functional subspindle. Since the turning and milling versions are tailored to the relevant machine technology, the complexity of the system software is considerably reduced compared to a universal system. The system parameters are predefined, minimizing the commissioning effort for the machine builder.

The F3236 is available in horizontal and vertical control panel layouts. Both control panel versions offer a choice of two CNC performance versions, allowing the Sinumerik 828D to be adapted to each user’s specific installation location and individual machine performance requirements. Its minimal size allows the new Sinumerik CNC to be easily integrated into even the most compact machine designs. Despite its compact size, the controller’s high-resolution 10.4-inch color TFT display and full QWERTY keyboard make it very user-friendly, and the CNC’s robust structural design consists of a rugged, wear-resistant die-cast magnesium control panel, CNC keyboard, and CNC electronics circuitry with a minimum of interfaces. The new CNC is maintenance free, with no fans, hard disks or battery backup.
